- If you haven't already seen the picutres from this remarkable island, I suggest you right your crime now. These pictures are from a tiny archipegalo known as "Socotra Island." Socotra is in the Indian Ocean just off the coast of Africa. Wikipedia calls it "A jewel of biodiversity," but I think a better term would be "Freakishly surrealistic fantasyland." My personal favorite are the "Dragon Trees" which are a source of the once revered compound called "Dragon's Blood."

Who is this person?

Dear reader,
I am but a humble trafficker in the world of knowledge. I aim to arm you with the nuggets of understanding that I have judged you require. Sure, many of these things may seem unconnected, but I can assure you they are connected quite elegantly. Additionally, I am positive that you will need every one of my insights at some point in your life, probably towards the end. In answer to your question: Yes, I have blogged before. When I first started to write, everyone said I was daft to start a blog, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what your reading right now, the strongest blog in all of the interwebs.
